Crypto nerds will seethe

keep on stackin

Silver and gold are the original crypto scams.
>buy now and you will become le rich in the future

Ignore coin shills, acquire real currency like USD and Yuan

>>56280344
Check the charts and zoom out. You won't of course. You'll only close your eyes, cry, cope, and engage in reality-discarding mental gymnastics.

Ive never seen so many slam downs in so many days before lads, this is it, The big money people are buying everything they can at the last minute.

I do believe we are actually and finally in 2 more weeks territory.

For me it was a roll of Cooks on Bold. Great deal.

>>56280402
but gold and silver predate your current gauge of value by thousands of years?

I got some coins in the mail today!

Two more doggo coins for my mom, and a New Zealand kiwi for my collection.

My new Glasses have gold frames.

God be with you.

And 25x 5 francs hercule .900 coins. I didn't have any junk yet, and these were on sale. Dates are 1848-49, 1873-76 (nothing very remarkable). One has an illegible date from wear. One has a hole drilled through near the top.

Based with Peace, Love, Joy and Blessings

When you guys gonna throw your stacks up on eBay so I can slurp. It’s been empty of personal stacks, don’t sell to the LCS I’ll buy them above spot. You can write of your losses too.

>>56280981
any decent LCS is buying above spot too

The US dollar is super duper strong guys I swear

>>56280981
>sell on Ebay
>Ebay takes 13% of total sale price as a fee,
> on top of any govt tax you have to pay
>sell $10k in PMs
>give Ebay $1.3k out of it right off the top
>then pay the govt some tax moneys
doesn't sound like a great deal unless the seller can manage to build that fee into the sale price

>>56280788
what did you get?

Hi everyone.

It's about 22 oz in total (the 5F are 22.5 g silver).
Now I need to find moar coins to buy, but I'm not sure what yet. There's cheapies everywhere!

>>56280981
yes goym sell before it crashes and spikes!

Currently have 4 oz ag and 220oz au.
I have about ~3k in crypto to spend.
I was thinking another gold oz and the rest in silver. Thoughts /pmg/ bros?

>>56281141
Wait I got them backwards kek
But anyways I think more gold is the better and safer play while I'm still a stacklet

>>56281141
>backwards
Check.

I'd recommend building your gold inventory.
Now that you have a silver stack, continue to buy silver that appeals to you more than just accumulating mass. As your stacks grow, you'll find storing the silver can become an issue.
Check out being a One-Percenter.

>>56281153
1 oz of gold for every 100oz of silver is a good ratio to start with

>>56281141
>220oz au

it would be nice if i could find a 3rd gen libertad that wasn't super overpriced of cruddy looking

>>56281025
Ebay only takes a 2% commission for any sale above $2k, that's where it becomes really interesting. And if only declared as non-business entity, i don't remember ever paying any taxes on ebay, but on extra shipping fees, which is very marginal.
Otherwise, yes, the 13% is fucking outrageous, the issue is all the alternatives are mirroring ebay's moves with just 1% less kek. But they don't propose nearly as much choice, buyers' guarantees and support.

>>56280981
1 Post... mmhmmm

>>56280328
Im not buying any fucking thing until American Gold eagles are $1,600 an ounce

Anons, should I grab some Washington Quarters? My LCS has them for $4.71 or should I just buy ASEs

>>56281441
that aint happenning

>>56281542
get a mix of both

having 2 $10 rolls in 90% junk is cool

>>56281570
it damn well might if yields keep jumping

>M-watch's advice was that the mom should dump the gold and put it all in a 401k

>>56281648
That money will all be gone before the kid is 18.

>>56281648
i genuinely,do not really get the appeal of 401ks outside of getting your match. so everything ends up getting taxed as income when it finally comes out? do people get that it will take a while before their taxable investments are eating into their tax return, and once they're at that point, it is hardly an issue? are these niggers all in reits or other poorly chosen investments? if you're in some growth stock, you're not paying tax on the appreciation until you sell, and when you sell, you're not being taxed at income rates.

>just lock it up with the government for 60 years

>>56281700
It must be shilled hard because all the money going in props up the market.

>>56281648
The "common sense" advice of advisors will always be to pull capital back into their clutches unaware that the ponzi-economy is saturated with debt and unsustainable. Boomers were fortunate to live during the massive credit expansion and their wealth and housing just effortlessly increased in value many times over. Some of them unironically think this can happen again and if you just buy an index fund it will 4x in price by the time you are ready to retire or whatever the fuck.
Despite the fact that the U.S. is saturated with credit and the GDP has no grown since 1983 if you subtract out increases in debt.

>>56281648
They should sell it and buy Platinum

>>56281700
The economy is a ponzi and keeping as much demand tucked away in the financial system is key to keeping its true nature concealed. People see their paper gains and feel special, and it helps keep plebs on the hamster wheel.
It's the same reason medical insurance will bankrupt you. No one wants you to retire early so they basically force you to work until you are 65 to get Medicare. They also want you to defer spending until you are 65 by keeping it protected from lawsuits. They keep you in banks by making you lawful ownership of cash limited to $10,000.
It's so obvious when you start connecting the dots that the elite want you working and handing over you money and generating taxes for the ponzi.

i did the ping test on my coins and while the gold coin sounds really nice the silver ones dont. the gold ping is really loud and sharp and lasts for a couple seconds while all of my silver coins sound pretty dull imo. its also a very short ping compared to the gold one. i used one of those frequency checker apps and the pings peak at 4600ish Hz and i read somewhere that silver coins should be around 6400Hz. did i get duped? the seller is one of the more if not most reputable in my area. i dont have any magnets at hand to do those tests but ill get one as soon as i can.
btw, the coins in question are 1oz maples. dont know if that helps

>>56281648
>401k
Really? 401k's are employer sponsored. I think you mean IRA.
The smart normie thing to do would be to put it in a 529 education savings plan so the kid could use it before retirement. And, of course, stash some of the gold for rainy days.

>>56281835
yes. some of this seems to be becoming more and more evident in recent times, and harder for "them" to hide anymore.

Do you have a micrometer and digital scale? I would check the dimensions and weight, if they seem suspect you could do the specific gravity test.
Supposedly these are the specs a guy on the internet received from the mint when inquiring about the specs of the maple leaf.

>muh free market

>This shit is every bit as evil as communism.

You of all people should know that we do not practice capitalism in the west because it has be subverted with central banks and intricate welfare and grant systems. What has happened is that the iron law of oligarchy is for all of us to see because we now have the tools to bypass the oligarchical controlled media. Corporations control the politicians who write the laws used by lawyers and judges bought by the very same corporations. The problem stems from the fact that if left unchecked, new laws accumulate over time favoring a small group of people with wealth influence. The difference between capitalism and communism is about who has rights over the other, the individual or the collective, and I know I will choose individual rights because collective rights is just another name for slavery.

Arm yourselves with knowledge!

spot is low but dealers prices are staying basically the same, is silver spot even worth looking at

i have a pair of calipers that seem precise when comparing it against various other rulers/tape measures. but measuring the thickness of the coin i get pic rel. it may as well be 3mm flat, idk. certainly doesnt seem like 0.15mm over 3mm imo. could be wrong though, maybe i need a good pair of digital calipers.
my best digital scale is a useless kitchen scale which varied between 30g to 32g on this coin. will need to get a proper scale as well.
i tried two coin tester app and one generic frequency testers and the coin tester apps both said the coin is legit.
maybe im just worrying too much over this, idk

>>56282246
realistically, what can i even do if i was really sold fake silver? demand a refund at the shop i got it from? while i have the receipt i have no proof that the coins i claim to be fake are bought from them. theres no serial number on the coins after all. they could just claim i brought different coins entirely.

10.75oz gold, 330oz silver, 1.2oz pt

is it a good time to buy gold right now? im a noob i cant tell, the price seems high right now

its the fist time i have an adult job after uni and im thinking about investing into something substantial

Just a little check, before I write some stuff, only to realize 'twas all futile.
(BTW, I really need to go out to pan (or sluice) some, but damn, being a productive member of society really takes a toll on my free time)

>>56282246
Yeah it is definitely handy to have a scale, can get something like the accuweight digital scale for around $17 on amazon. Different coins will ring differently, silver eagles sound completely different than a britannia. Specific gravity test is the most fool proof way to test precious metals at home without having a very expensive piece of scanning equipment. The short of it is that you weigh the bullion in question and write down the weight. Then you put a container of water on your scale ( cut a plastic bottle or use a paper cup) tare the scale so it reads 0. Use a piece of floss to suspend the item in the water without touching the bottom or sides and write down the weight. Divide the weight of the item by the number you got while it was suspended in the water and that will give you the specific gravity. Specific gravity of .999 fine silver is 10.49. All these measurements will be done in grams. This video will cover it in more detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw-2kqjtEdI

A fascinating question, but difficult to answer because there's less consistent info on the time period outlined jn that image. There's a lot more working information on cost of living from the time of Diocletian thanks to Dioclatian's Edicts on Maximum Prices, with the caveat that that information also doesn't paint the whole picture because it was the Emperor's suggestions on price caps during a time of hyperinflation, meaning everything is skewed as is (and the Edicts were mostly ignored anyway).

That said, this is a fun and informative video on cost of living from around Diocletian's time:

https://youtu.be/nXx2vBRDym4?si=40pWyGo12qq030

I might turn the info in this video into a new image to accompany the first

I just ate half a bag of chili-cheese Fritos...

>>56282424

I haven't had chili-cheese Fritos for a long time.

>>56282320
Seems like I'm good.
So, since this is also (prospective) homeowner general, I gotta reee a bit.
>a productive member of society
So, turns out I now got a job at the other end of the my little country and I'd really like to move there with the wife and kids, but damn, is it expensive! Of course my "old" place isn't exactly cheap, but looking at house prices, there's a bunch of stuff on the market that I could buy in the sub 300k€ range.
But the new place?
Fucking hell. Nothing below half a million, so that would mean buying on credit, which means paying debts forever.
Or, I could get something suspciciously cheap, which turns out to be situated in the "red zone" (i.e. the "Why the fuck would anyone sane built that close to a torrent that will fuck shit up when it rains? Why the fuck is that even legal?"-zone)…
Though that problem also applies at my cheaper place.
Additionally, there's the issue of contaminated land. Wasn't there some discussion a few threads back about some anon owning a bunch of worthless silver mines?
Well, I could kinda become that anon too! There's a few nice towns in the old silver mining districts in the mountains and I could buy a house on some old mine site!
But, turns out silver never comes "clean" in nature. More like lead-zinc-silver ores and even if I were a lead stacker, I definitely wouldn't want that shit in the soil in my vegetable garden.
tl;dr:
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
and pic kinda related.

Spooky

Both areas are also gold bearing and I've successfully (lol, 0.00000000001 grams/hour) panned for gold in both, so there's that (pic related).

If it's a one off thing they are almost certainly going to make it right. No lcs is going to want the word to spread they are selling fakes. Trust is what thier business is built on. If you come by more than once claiming you got fakes from them they are likely to tell you to go kick rocks since the odds of getting fakes on multiple purchases is so low, especially since I'm assuming they would run a full inventory check after the first time you came back with a fake.

Nobody can tell you what the short-term price movement of gold will be. Most people here will tell you what the central banks apparently believe, that prices will go up in the long term. Given that, the answer to the question "is now a good time to buy?" is always yes. The only danger for you is buying to much such that you are forced to sell in the near term to cover other expenses. Don't do that. Only buy as much as you can afford to hold for a few years at least.

Bros, loading the fuck up on this dip.
Current stack:
>837 Oz Silver
>9.17 Oz Gold
>3 Oz Platinum

My goal is 1000 Oz Silver and 10 Oz Gold and then to simply admire my shinies while I wait for the collapse. What are your stack goals?

>>56280328
Curious, how do you guys sell your silver and gold?

>>56283187
With tears in our eyes because you never sell gold and silver for paper money unless there has been a tragedy of some kind.

I'm not too sure, it's smaller than a regular bag of potatoe chips, but bigger than those tiny vending machine bags.

Idk how people eat junk food every day. I feel like a gross fatty now...

Good opportunity to slurp something more exotic than usual

>>56283117
nice deal. i am tempted by this

>>56283233
I snack on peanuts because I can eat a small handful, they are salty and actually carry some weight in your stomach. Potato chips and other snacks are complete fucking bullshit tier food, despite tasting delicious they don't satisfy me in the least. Like you said they make me feel like a fat fuck long before I ever feel satiated from my hunger.

>>56283301
peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios are superior salty snacks

>>56283117
You say you'll stop once you hit that goal but the shiny lust won't stop

Sell private party for what you're willing to sell it at, or call around to various LCS and get the best price you can.

>>56283117
I just want to hit 5:500 so I can feel like I have a comfy seat. After that, with my means, I should move to gaining wealth while there's still wealth to gain. I'm not so far off.

>>56282713
>>56282767
Kek, nice. That's why i said "unless" because jews claiming they want to save the economy doesn't weight much when you look at the decisions they took recently and tells us the EXACT opposite.
But i don't think they even need to continue to raise rates, things are already imploding at 5.5%. They simply need to keep it like this for half a year to have the desired effect. It would be less obvious that if they raise it up another 2% or so.
What do you think will give up first frens? Between commercial RE, private mortgages, CC debts, students loans, maturing low yield bonds held by banks, etc... i've a hard time figuring out where the fireworks will begin.

>>56283283
Yes it's truly slurping paradise. I'm like a kid at the mall right before Xmas. We may be the only investors TRULY happy when our assets go down kek. Because only when your strategy is adamantium plated platinum solid you can rejoice at this sight. And no other investment is as sound as PMs in the current crumbling clownworld. I've never been so convinced about anything in my entire life. I'm not even sure water is wet and fire is hot, but i'm fucking 999% certain stackers are AGMI.

>>56283117
>What are your stack goals?
I don't have any, because there is no timeline i can work with. I've no certain idea about how much more resilient the system can be. I can't tell if we have just 2 weeks left or another 2 years, so i simply slurp as much as i possibly can at any given time.
All i know is with my very limited means i can't hope to double my 2000oz stack anytime soon. But if i can manage to slurp another 500oz before SHTF then i'll have zero regrets and would consider my goal achieved. But i'd need probably another year and half for that..

Convince me right now to turn 5k of cash into silver.

>>56283579

3 types of silver to invest in without being a skeezer

1. 1oz or 2oz silver rounds or coins. (Potentially bars if you can get them cheaper than rounds)
2. 5oz-100oz silver bars. Any bigger and you run into issues selling.
3. 90% Junk silver US coins. The best option for getting good divisibility without paying crazy premiums. Any lower than 90% (eg. 35% war nickels or 40% halves) and you run into issues selling for a good price. Foreign coins have largely the same issue as it’s more difficult to find people who know what they are. Collectible coins are great if you’re interested in them but I recommend you avoid if you’re just trying to get silver.

>>56283808
whatever the lowest price per ounce is between 1-10 ounces, constitutional silver for smaller denominations.

>>56283579
Convince yourself faggot
Been awhile since I purchased, got 25 Ozs of brits for $4.50 CAD over spot today. Best deal I have seen in quite awhile

>>56283117

Not too far off that goal. Obviously realise you can never give up, but will switch to more fun silver I just like the look of, and get hard in to platinum (hopefully before the collapse of South Africa).

>>56284348
think of berkshire, amazon, tesla, etc. they don't pay dividends. all gains would come from price appreciation. since this is the only place gains would be coming from, assuming you'd be holding for a year, you'd only ever pay long term cap gains rates when selling shares if held in a taxable account. if held in a 401k, you're paying your marginal tax rate on it, which will most likely be just as high if not higher. i'm not saying not to participate in one, it just doesn't really seem like that good of a deal. think of all the extra flexibility you give up having it sheltered in an account you can't really tough until retirement or a few specific instances. at least with a roth you can pull out contributions penalty free.

The thing with gold is that it will never go back to being the standard upon which countries base their currency's value.
Also, I don't get why people invest in silver.

>>56284110
According to that I'm in the top 0.2%, I highly doubt that. I'm even starting to doubt this tier chart too. I feel like I'm in the top 5% with what I own. Like I'm not trying to FUD but are there really potential multi billionaires ITT? Future multi millionaires millionaires based on stack size ITT absolutely. I know I have more wealth in my stack than my 401K and I'll have the purchasing power of a few millions of equivalent of USD in the early 2000's. But I doubt the percentages in silver in that chart are even close to accurate versus reality.

You're only in the top 1% if everyone wants to have silver. Lets be real, 7.8 billion people are not going to be interested or have access to silver. 100 million people though, that is more realistic, which would be 60oz of silver shared equally.

If they can't get their hands on silver they will go for other metals or other goods.

>>56284590
To add to this, to be in the top 1% in a theoretical 100 million people wanting silver, you would need to have over 3,600oz of silver.

>these prices
>Someone stop me, I can't stop slurping
the fair price for silver is about 20$/oz. silver was trading around 15$/oz before the massive inflation that came from covid stimulus - real world inflation is about 30-40%. i took 33% for easy math, so the price of materials should be about +33% higher than what it was before covid to compensate for inflation

so if silver was 15$, then 33% of 15 = 5$. so the new fair price of silver is ~20$/oz. 15$ + inflation (5$) = 20$. if you wait until silver drops to 18$, you will be getting a 10% discount to the fair price. silver is a slurp at 18$

>>56281830
>They should sell it and buy Platinum
why the fuck would you buy platinum? that shit is going the way of the dinosaur. the only reason platinum was worth alot in the first place was because of its use in catalytic converters for ICE and diesel engines

if the whole world is moving towards electric vehicles, what use is there for platinum in the future? EVs dont have catalytic converters

>>56284528
Tell me, Nostradumbass, why are the world's central banks stacking gold at rates not seen since the world still had the Bretton Woods gold standard? For their jewelry making classes?

>>56285221
>what use is there for platinum in the future?
making fertilizers to feed the 3 billion extra muds coming online in the next 50 years.

>>56285221
yeah platinum is a meme
rarity isn't everything
and hydrogen power blows

>>56285235
most of the use for platinum was catalytic converters. literally 50% of its use. so half of the use for platinum is going extinct. why the fuck would you buy that? just buy gold and stop trying to be cute like a little faggot

Luv me Platinum.
Simple as.

>>56285221
Platinum for catalytic converters is a dead industry, there's no denying that. However, we are projected to run out of gold in the next couple of decades. When that happens, platinum will be one of the precious metals along side it. I personally think it will take silver's place as silver will be used primarily as a base metal for green energy technology.

>>56285257

silver is too rare to be a base metal, you doofus
and platinum is even rarer than gold so how the hell is it going to replace silver

>>56284819
Wrong. Putting food on the table is king and it is getting harder everyday. Peasants don't riot because the currency isn't convenient enough. Farmers don't blockade the Federal Reserve with their tractors because they want faster cash transfers. We are accelerating towards an economic catastrophe that is not going to be fixed by some new gadget or crypto nerd currency.

>>56285328
The Bank of England has said that 99% of all purchases are done electrical. The foundation is already in place fully functioning. The commercial banks will give everyone a CBDC wallet along side their standard banking account, then gradually phase out the value of cash herding everyone into CBDC. This will be the currency reset of the 21st century.

Hydrogen is gaining momentum. It's obstacles are just a matter of minor technical development and infrastructure. It's advantages over batteries are inherent in the technologies.

>>56285267
>we are projected to run out of gold in the next couple of decades
if that was true than you should be stacking as much gold as possible. why go about it in a roundabout way buying the 2nd derivative in platinum when you could just buy the 1st derivative... gold. stop trying to be cute

>>56285353
I guess i'm just gonna hate the antichrist, go homeless, and lug around my silver and gold on the street to barter with lol

>>56285353
You assume things will just roll along the way they have been. I, on the other hand, think the fiat scam is unraveling. And when it does, nobody is going to accept another fiat currency for a long time.

>>56284539
There are 8 billion people in the world, what percentage of those people do you think are sitting on close to 400ozt of silver? Most people don't even have fiat in reserve.

It's not about wanting silver or gold, its money and it will always be money....
>If they can't get their hands on silver they will go for other metals or other goods.
and all those other things will be valued in silver and gold.
>>56285200
For thousands of years, the silver to gold ratio was 10-15:1, up until the kikery began in 1913...and this was before the industrial uses in technology existed.

Apmex has 1oz bars for $940

>>56285383
And the "all-knowing elite" fud reveals itself. Actually, governments and banks are full of idiots, diversity hires, and NPCs. I worked in government for twenty years. If you think they are some kind of masterminds you don't have a clue. They only got to where they are because the public was busy living their lives and didn't pay attention. Once that becomes impossible, the government and banks will fold up like wet cardboard.

>>56285373
Fiat/usury is bad, but I think it's the other stuff that's going to push normies over the edge. What the WEF, UN, banksters, technocrats, etc. are pushing is a slavery system where the plebs have no property, no privacy, and no rights whatsoever beyond whatever temporary freedoms those at the top allow them.
This is REAL SLAVERY. It's not a "wagey cagey" kinda slavery where you have to do the daily grind to make ends meet, but otherwise have freedom to do whatever, save/invest money and own property which gets later on inherited by your next of kin. This is more like a wacko looney tunes communist dystopia that nobody wants and where everyone will be miserable. It can't possibly work because it's completely anti-human. Of course that's the whole point, I guess. Since the ones pushing this have a transhumanist agenda. They're completely out of their fucking minds.

>>56285433
>Platinum is essential is some of the most commonly used chemotherapy treatments.
Ok. is that going to make up for the 50% loss in its overall use case due to catalytic converters going extinct? no. just buy gold or silver retard

even bitcoin is a better buy than platinum at this point. you all should sell that shit next time platinum pumps over 1000$/oz and convert to gold / silver. or classic cars. or vintage guitars. pick something just get out of platinum

>>56285353
your analysis ignores the fact that this new currency has to be accepted internationally as well as domestically.

I found a '64 dime in the register at work. Might buy another ounce tomorrow just because, idk.

You think the average person who works in government is a perfectly respectable human being who thinks Uncle Sam has our best interests in mind?
The elite need people who are too stupid to connect the dots and/or are just as psychopathic as they are to do their dirty work for them because the normal person sure as hell won't.
This isn't all without mentioning that the government is still just another employer and don't you think that it would be in an employers best interests in a hyperinflationary environment to underpay and overwork their employees as much as humanly possible on top of already finding the right barely qualifying piece of goyim niggercattle to work for them?

Okay, let me put it another way. Even with governments and banks being full of idiots, they have successfully herded the masses with their ponzi scheme backed by nothing for over 50 years with multiple big bank collapses in the past decade. It's not about me thinking that they're some kind of masterminds, it is you who is overestimating the intelligence of the herd.

yeah i experienced that too. it might not have been a conspiracy though... they legitimately could have been out of stock at that time. people were rushing to safety because of covid fears. i was actually able to buy silver at 13$, 15$, and 18$ during 2019-2020

14.11 ounces of gold. 16 ounces of silver. 1.5 ounces of platinum. $2,500 in foreign currency.

>>56285860

...you're not even storing your metals in your own possession. and you think i'm "mad and seething" at that?

what, are you not allowed to have guns in your country?

>>56286001
I also just bought ASE tubes it's just a shame the lid doesn't close all the way on 20 coins. Still they will fit every 1oz coin at least.

>>56286044

that'll be fine, but it's kind of overkill to put the bars in capsules. i like tubes where the thing inside is naked

>>56286080
>>56286075
>>56286067
I own more precious metals now than you will ever have.

>>56286032
Those rectangle capsules are expensive. You could probably just store your bars in a cheap plastic food container (the kind that seals gud).

>>56286105
I paid like $20 so it's not a big deal.
>>56286095
It's fine for now but it's not a great use of space. I'll probably end up hating it after a while. Eventually I want to get everything packed into a Pelican 1450 and bar tubes would be a much better use of space.

>>56286069
yes if you put too many non-ASEs in then they can only hold 19 lol. i've gotten used to it.

>>56286105
I use an ammo can

>>56286150
I've been using a .50 cal can up to this point. I've got all of my bars rattling around in the little plastic sheathes they came in from JM. This is going to be the next logical step for me.

does it even make any sense to buy copper? unless im being retarded the premium must be insanely high on copper. 1kg of copper is about 7.50€, and a 5kg bar costs about 135€, 100€ more than it should be costing.

There's a difference between owning a chunk of metal that has no added value of interest, and one that has been worked into something aesthetically pleasing and stamped with a mark of provenance, and/or something totally naturally occurring like a raw chunk directly from the ground.
True, industrial Cu is cheap. So is cotton. Clothing costs a lot more.
Is it a good investment? It's hard to believe it would be. Here's my reality: I bought a bunch back in 2012 or so, when it was $7.50/lb avdp. They're "art" bars, stamped, and have the classic designs. This shit's going for $20/lb minimum on ebay now. Minus the 15% fee ($3.60) and say $5 shipping that means $13.4/lb, if I sold now.
The silver I was buying at the time was about $24/ozt. I might get $33/ozt on ebay (to keep the playing field level - so have to exclude coin shops, which won't take Cu) -15% ($5.05) -$5 = 23.95. Huh, a 5-cent loss.
So that copper shit's worth about 2x what I paid. The silver I bought is about break-even.
The real problem with Cu is, you need shitloads of it to make any decent profit.

>>56290690
>There's a difference between owning a chunk of metal that has no added value of interest, and one that has been worked into something aesthetically pleasing and stamped with a mark of provenance, and/or something totally naturally occurring like a raw chunk directly from the ground.
aka premium, i know. but the premium on a copper bar seems a little excessive.
and yeah, like you said, youd need quite a bit for it to make any sense.
i have a slow but reliable source for scrap copper from various kinds of wires. would probably still take a lot of time and effort to amass anything note worthy, and then id be taking up a huge risk getting caught stealing old network cables from my employer.
maybe ill buy a couple 1kg bars just for the fun of it. 6 to be exact to stack a little pyramid.
